I. Model for a Case Presentation or Assessment_x000D_
_x000D_
Identifying Information – Try to capture the person/family/community in a sort of verbal_x000D_
_x000D_
snapshot. Make a mental picture of your client in words. Short. California(USA)_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
II. Presenting Problem – Why have they come for help? In what capacity (your role) have they decided to come to you? Also short, within 2-¬3 sentences._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
III. Current Situation – Describe the situation the client(s) find themselves in, something_x000D_
_x000D_
about their living situation, work, immediate problems, etc. Identify problems that may_x000D_
_x000D_
interfere or need to be considered as you work with the client(s) to try to develop a plan or_x000D_
_x000D_
approach to the difficulty. Usually this fits within a simple paragraph._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
IV. History – Identify salient features of the client(s) personal/family/community/cultural history. Illnesses, education, work history, family structure, mobility, cultural traditions, religious beliefs and level of observance etc are some of the issues that should be considered here. This will be one of the longest sections of your assessment, sometimes several pages._x000D_

_x000D_
V. Assessment – Considering all the information you’ve collected, what are some of the_x000D_
_x000D_
outstanding features of this situation? Identify issues that will need attention as you make_x000D_
_x000D_
recommendations and a plan. Be sure to identify strengths and liabilities. Is there any other_x000D_
_x000D_
information you may need?_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
VI. Recommendations - Draw up a set of recommendations for how you or someone else_x000D_
_x000D_
might work with this situation. This will likely be a list of tasks._x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
VII. Plan - Sometimes the recommendations and plan are combined. The plan will be a more detailed version of the recommendations with information (Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?)_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_
VIII. Follow up – Here you check back at regular intervals to make sure things are going_x000D_
_x000D_
smoothly, modifying the plan as needed. It is also good to do some follow up at intervals after_x000D_
_x000D_
you have stopped active work. The practice on follow up varies wildly from agency to agency._x000D_
_x000D_
Liability issues may affect decisions about follow up as well._x000D_
